Summary

Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School is a public school serving 451 students in grades 6-12 in Gaston, Indiana, which is part of the Wes-Del Community Schools district. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, ranging from a high of 4 stars in 2014-2015 to its current 2-star rating for the 2024-2025 school year, ranking 222 out of 429 Indiana high schools.

Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing better than the low socioeconomic status (SES) student group. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from a low of 87.2% in 2022-2023 to a high of 96.6% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 22.3% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, Yorktown High School and Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities generally perform better than Wes-Del Middle/Senior High School, while Virtual Preparatory Academy of Indiana at Madison-Grant 92 and Excel Center - Muncie perform worse. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, around 50%, likely contributes to its lower academic performance, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important step in improving the school's overall outcomes.
